Color Throw down #468

 
My grandmother was an awesome quilter and I wanted to try working with quilt patterns in some of my cards. I started with a die from Gina Marie Designs and the colors from this week's challenge at Color Throwdown. I found a beautiful paper with fall leaves from Paper Studio to add interest to my "quilt". The inside sentiment is by Stampin' Up and it reads, "Thinking of you at this time of year, and though we are miles apart, may the special love that's sent your way keep us close at heart." I think I will be sending this to my mother who lives a long distance away. TFL

Atlantic Hearts #238

  My supply of sympathy cards is quite depleted so I thought I would use this week's challenge sketch to create something simple and yet soothing using a yellow and white color scheme. This card began with an embossed layer by M'press with a round frame in the middle, I then added a stamped greeting by MSE and surrounded it with varied yellow flowers by Prima. I put Ranger liquid pearls in the center of each flower. I decided on an additional thin layer of black behind the white embossing to help ground the black lettering in the center. Hope you'll play along with us as the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.  http://atlanticheartschallenge.blogspot.ca/
